CALL FOR CONFERENCE

Firstly, we would like to welcome everyone to the prestigious 11th conference on the theme “ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY: FROM LIFE STYLES TO INNOVATIVE ENTERPRISES IN CREATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTS” which will be held at Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 3 to 5 September 2012.

This conference will be hosted by the Universiti Kuala Lumpur Business School and The Centre For Entrepreneurship Research, Essex Business School, University Of Essex, United Kingdom, in collaboration with the Organization forEconomic Co-operation and Development (OECD) UK and Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Paris, France.

During the past 10 years IEF has organised highly successful, refereed international conferences in different countries of Europe, Asia and the Middle East covering various aspects of entrepreneurship, innovation and economic develop-ment. One of the most satisfying outcomes of all the events has been the identification of new interest, scholarship and insight into entrepreneurial activity, across different countries, demonstrating the value of learning in an international arena of thought and practice. This outcome informs the themes and topics chosen for each conference.

The IEF continues to work closely with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and its Local Employment and Economic Development (LEED) Programme

We hope you will join us in this ‘flow’ of your ideas and insights, and engage in the debates and deliberations, in the creative crucible of emergent Asia and in the centre of innovative Malaysia.
